2009-10 Ski Sundown Mogul Plan

[Greg]

Never too early to start thinking about Sundown bumps again.

Next year they will start the season with bumps on Stinger (to the skiers right of the lift), with a bailout of a cat and a half wide on the left to allow people to get to the park. Once Gunbarrel is open they will move the bumps to Temptor/Nor'easter until racing is over and then back to Gunny for the spring.

So, the first couple weeks of the season should be a lot of fun with a decent length bump run with some pitch. Mid-season we go back to Temptor which might be a little bit of a let-down after Gunny this spring and Stinger to kick off next season, but hey, whatever. We've come a long way since the days of Lower Nor'easter-only bumps. I think this is a good approach as only one early season run is used as a bump/park combo. I know some of the feedback last season was negative since Temptor and Stinger were out for the groomer lover crowd until Gunny was open. With the limited terrain, we gotta be flexible so everyone is happy.

Some of the park rat boarders will probably whack out the Stinger lines, but I look at it as a good opportunity to get more of the jibhonk skiers interested in bumps. Plus us bumpers with crappy air skill can then hit the park. Psyched to hear that the spring bump scene on Gunbarrel will return after racing. This year was awesome.

Buy your passes before 10/31!

:lol:

I didn't think there really was a way to improve the mogul approach over what they did this year, but Saint Christopher found a way. It's been getting better every year. Eventually we'll have that whole effin place seeded with bumps.

Greg do you receive a free Sundown season pass for promoting Sundown?

Maybe. Maybe not. I would talk about it regardless since I applaud what they are doing.

Seems like a fair plan for all Sundown skiers during the early part of the season.

:blink: shouldn't this thread be in the Ski Sundown forum????

btw, where is the darn thing...... i've been looking for it all morning. It had some really radical threads in that place.

That was an April Fool's Day special. My plan was to move those threads here. I thought the software gave me that option when deleting that forum, but apparently not. Oh well.

We all get excited about something. There is enough interest for its own forum.

That's great news, should keep things interesting at least. I really didn't think there was any other options from this year's plan, so this is a nice pleasant surprise. Nice work Chris and crew! :beer:

If he doesn't something is very wrong.

April fools? you just burst my bubble..... Connecticut's mogul mecca deserves its own forum. :-?

The www.paskiandride.com owners receive free Jack Frost/Big Boulder passes..those areas are worthless because they don't have seeded bumps..

who told you this?

The plan is Bumps on the steep of tom's to start out with, then moving to exhibition for the end of the year bump comp... We're doing racing every weekend on Gunbarrel until April this year... and theres a 4,500 dollar first place mogul side slipping snowboard contest running the whole season

i think you have the wrong email from chris...

Just for that I'm gonna 'borrow' the groomer every night and seed bumps throughout the entire terrain park!

Seed the Papoose headwall! There's really no other better choice.

 

[o3jeff]

Just seed the incline at the beginning of Toms

 

[marcski]

Everytime I see a post from Greg with his new avatar, I keep thinking that its a Stormtrooper and not him skiing the bumps!
